Oh right, THAT thing… One of the moreout-there rumorsleading up to the Nintendo Switch reveal event was a supposed Ubisoft-developedMarioandRabbidscrossover game. It was such an odd pairing, conceptually — the sort of thing thatprobably could happen, but maybe shouldn’t. I was willing to believe. We’ve heard so little noise about the rumored project lately that I had forgotten it was ever brought up, but it’s reportedly still coming. A source has providedKotakuwith art assets and details about the role-playing game, which is said to be targeting an August or September release for the Switch....

Now up to 20.1% After successfully taking over Gameloft and forcing out Michel Guillemot, Vivendi is once againsetting their sights on Ubisoft, the company they constantly deny they are trying to acquire. Just days after E3 the conglomerate decided to up their ownership to 20.1%, a number that no doubt has Ubisoft’s Yves Guillemot shaking in his boots.As Game Informer points out, once a company owns 30% of a stock in France, they have to tender a public offer....

Light Vs Dark…or Anime Vs Disney Kingdom Hearts IIIis almost here and I don’t know if I can breathe! While I’m not exactly a die-hard fan of the series, I got into the original two in my youth and have been eagerly awaiting the third entry for almost half of my life. That’s quite a long time to be anticipating a sequel, but the wait is nearly done. To help tide myself over untilIIIis in my hands, I dragged Dan along to reminisce about our memories of the series....

The Sunken Ship is one of the longer dungeons you’ll face inSuper Mario RPG, yet it only has one hidden treasure chest to uncover. It’s also fairly easy to (temporarily) lock yourself out of getting it. To find the hidden treasure chest in the Sunken Ship, you want to enter this room where a clone of Mario appears. You’ll find this shortly after facing the King Calamari miniboss. Once you’re here, jump up near the center of the room on the side where the doors lead out....

Springtime is over, Adolf Next week sees the release ofWolfenstein II: The New Colossus, as B.J. Blazkowicz and his rag-tag band of underground rebels take to the streets to wipe out the Nazi menace that has conquered America. Bethesda have released the final NSFW trailer for the title. Whilst other trailers have had a warped, almost juvenile sense-of-humour about them, there’s no pissing about in this trigger-happy short, which sees all manner of hot lead thrown in harm’s way....

What? I…I can’t understand what you’re saying. That will always be a problem with the countless mumble-mouthed kiddies online, but at least their mumbles will sound a bit more clear when Microsoft updates the Xbox 360 later this year. Coming in line with Kinect’s tech, this upgrade will bump up the codec and the audio infrastructure that connects your Xbox 360’s chat facilities with another’s. Xbox Live Studios’ Jerry Johnson said that this should make for clear(er) chat when you play online....

Because the PlayStation 2 isn’t truly capable of handling downloadable content, Sony has proven that it will just keep releasing PS2SingStargames until people stop buying them or the company goes bankrupt. They’re very dedicated to this. With that in mind, it’s no surprised to hear that Sony has teamed up with Sony BMG Nashville to launchSingStar Countrythis October. According to the press release, it will feature artists like Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift Keith Urban, Faith Hill, and more....

Part two of our three-part interview with Nude Maker The originalClock Towerwas a cult hit when it was first released, andit’s managed to stayfresh in the minds of horror game fansever since. TheJennifer Connellylook-a-like lead; the shocking juxtaposition between quaint dot art and horrific, gory death; the themes of body horror; hide-in-plain-sight sociopathy; and a regal, civilized environment that holds constant potential for a primal fight-or-flight response: these are just a few of the elements that makeClock Towera timeless classic....

This seems reasonable For subject material focusing on new technologies and enhancement,Deus Ex: Mankind Divideddoesn’t require anything too extraordinary of your PC to be able to actually play the game. Maybe there’s some thematic dissonance there, but we’ll gladly look the other way in favor of not needing a super machine to run it. TheSteam page forMankind Dividedwas updated today with the game’s PC specs. The minimum requirements aren’t bad at all....

So far, we’ve only seen the back of Sgt. James Heller’s big bald head, as Activision has kept the face ofPrototype 2‘s primary protagonist under wraps.Electronic Gaming Monthly, however, has the first full look at the little scallywag. He seems significantly badass, too. Certainly what you’d expect a revenge-driven former solder on a quest to huntPrototype‘s original anti-hero to look like. I can dig it. How about you? Liking the look, or are you just reading this so you’re able to have another argument about howPrototypesucked?...

‘TV speaker virtual surround sound’ won’t be ready in November 3D audio isn’t at the top of my mind for PlayStation 5, but a PlayStation Blog post today reminded me about Sony’s push for more immersive audio, and there’s an important note worth touching on. As Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Isabelle Tomatis explains it, “you’ll be able to experience [PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech] with the headphones that many of you already own, either through USB connection to the [PlayStation 5], or by plugging your headphones into the DualSense wireless controller’s 3....

Exactly like it wanted [Update:Epic immediately sued Apple. Shortly afterFortnitewas pulled from the App Store,Epic filed a 62-page lawsuit for injunctive relief. The Complaint alleges violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the California Cartwright Act, and the California Unfair Competition Law. The lawsuit was clearly drafted well in advance, as Epic obviously anticipated Apple removingFortnite. This saga is going to get very sticky before anything’s resolved. That’s a fight Epic is willing to take up....

Because I DON’T KNOW! In case it slipped under your radars,Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!has a quick new launch trailer to remind you that this is a thing that came out today among all the awesome stuff launching these days. It’s nothing we haven’t seen up this point, but another montage of gameplay never hurt anyone. It shows off theGauntlet-esque dungeon crawling, loot collecting, and co-op action....
